    So matrixpuba how is SEC treating you? Im taking
    a break at the Pilot in Bellemont AZ. Im gonna get to New Mexico before I take my 10 hr break. They have run me so hard im almost out of hours. The
    load I have will deliver 3 days late because I cant
    get there any sooner.

    So far so good. I'm running hard no doubt. Deliver at 4am tomorrow and then go pick up right after then head to Lebanon. Got to swing by the freightliner dealer off of fesslers tomorrow to get some new batteries. And was back home 2 times this week. Have to look at my hours Monday night to see if I can run on my recap till Friday for a reset if needed
     
    Air Breeze Thanks this.

    I want to say again I'm amazed how nice everyone is over here. I think I have talked to most of the office personnel now and All were polite and ready to fix anything that might be wrong. No bouncing my phone call from this person to that person. If I have a question I get the same response, hold on let me find out. Then in a matter of a few seconds I have an answer. Communication is very good here at south east carriers.

    They treat the drivers well because they realize
    the driver is the most important component of
    the company. They are also very nice people. I
    Have never seen or heard anyone that works
    for this company complain or display a bad
    attitude. A lot like people used to be 40 years
    ago when I was kid. Courteous and respectful.
    They do live by the golden rule here.

    We run southeast..michigan..indiana..ohio.. west coast...

    pretty much every where but northeast
    ...
    I think average run is 600 or better... we do have 300 mile runs that are usually turnarounds but I am usually running on recap

    In the last 8 days I have run 3950 miles. I still have 585 to go to deliver in Chapel Hill TN, on Thursday
    morning. I would deliver tomorrow but I dont have
    enough hours to get there. Then I am going home
    and take a week off and enjoy life. I have been out
    this time for 3 weeks. Out to the west cost and back twice this time. So far no complaints from me. This company keeps me rolling...
